INT vs EMP Dream 11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

 

Inter Milan will host Empoli in a pivotal last round of Serie A 2018-19 season hoping to secure a top-four finish at San Siro.

INT vs EMP Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Quick Bites:

  • Inter Milan can secure the Champions League football for the next season if they beat Empoli in their last game of the season. Currently, they sit fourth on the table; 1 point behind Atalanta.
  • Inter looked to have sealed the 3rd spot but a run of just one win in the last five games endangered their ambitions. During that run-in, Atalanta logged four wins to usurp Nerazzurri from third.

  • Empoli meanwhile are targetting the safety. Their chances of remaining in the top division looked bleak a month ago, but three wins in the last three matches, couple with Genoa’s torrid run helped them turn the tide in their favor.
  • Even if Empoli lose at San Siro, they will be safe provided Genoa lose away to Fiorentina.
  • Empoli won the last three games by an aggregate scoreline of 7-2. Pretty impressive.
  • Even a win in the last game won’t guarantee Luciano Spalletti‘s job as he has come under the immense pressure of late. The situation is compounded even further due to the availability of fan favorite Jose Mourinho. Inter’s treble-winning manager is out of the job since getting sacked by Manchester United in December.
